I suspect if and when the unstable equilibrium breaks down, the sadists with the guns will precipitate it. But it’ll be very important not to lose heart no matter how it happens. They want to create an expectation that they can be lawless and we must bat 1.000 www.offmessage.net/p/itll-be-tr...

1) Very rarely do applications actually "scale". An application that tracks inventory typically grows less than 20% in's entire life, and the process of tracking inventory doesn't change much.

2) When things do scale, it's typically not the data that scales; it's the process. In...

Role Model’s album is called Kansas Anymore.

He wore the Max’s Kansas City shirt in the SNL promos and then Charli wore it on stage.

Max’s Kansas City was a nightclub in New York City, not in Kansas City.

No actual shade detected.

Hope this helps.

Charli XCX was Role Model’s Sally on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and her shirt probably wasn’t Taylor Swift shade. And if those words in that order don’t make sense to you, we’ve got you.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."
